Visitors should wash their hands upon arrival at the hospital or use alcohol gel without rinsing, available in the lobby, elevators and in different care units;

Visitors must comply with the instructions displayed on the doors of rooms in the hospital if that person is placed in isolation to reduce the risk of contamination. Visitors must report to the nurse's care unit at the first visit;
